Dr Obed Yao Asamoah, Former National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has categorically stated that running mate for John Mahama, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang failed the party in the 2020 elections.
According to him, Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, the running mate of the party in 2020 did not add anything to the fortune of the party.
He believes it was a big gamble and mistake to have gone to the election with the former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Coast.
Speaking in an interview on Joy News, Mr Asamoah made this assertion.
“The lady who is a running mate to Mahama lost the Central Region in the last election. Lost a whole constituency,” the former Attorney-General told Accra-based JoyNews’.
He however expressed fear this could repeat itself for the party in the 2024 general elections if Mahama settles on 2020 running mate.
According to him, the NDC must rethink sending Prof. Opoku-Agyemang once again as a running mate, saying that “there has to be some fresh thinking.
“There could be some amends we make to make her succeed. But for now, she didn’t make an impact.”
Dr Obed Asamoah believes the NDC could have lost completely if not for the votes the party amass in the Greater Accra Region.
